Cannot map drive to ReadyNAS over VPN
I need to map a network drive over VPN. Very simple host network: no Microsoft server, no AD. Just a Cisco router and the ReadyNAS NV+ (Ver 1) as a simple file server. Two identical Cisco WRVS4400N...
Mea Culpa.
Due to a lack of alternate machines for testing, I continued until now to believe the fault to be Windows 7 Home vs. Windows 7 Premium. I was wrong.
For some reason, the Win7 Home laptop had a 3rd party firewall installed on it (ZoneAlarm Free). However, although ZoneAlarm was running, there was no icon for it in the system tray and the Windows Firewall also was turned on. Of course ZA showed up in the "Programs and Features" list, but I didn't look there. I assumed I knew what was on the laptop.
Uninstalling ZoneAlarm Free solved the problem for the Windows 7 Home Premium laptop.
My apologies to all who joined in the collective head scratching.
